Defeat the first guard | Keystone Citadel Lords of the Fallen Guide

In the last phase, avoid the whirling boss.

The battle is not too demanding, if you keep several important things in mind. First of all, do not attack blindly, by mashing the attack button - the opponent has a shield so you will deal no damage, whereas the battle will end quickly, if you take several strong blows. Try to keep the distance of the boss and watch out for the attacks. Dodge from them early enough. Start attacking only after the boss finishes his sequence - the best idea is to dash forward, quickly (sprint) and land a strong jumping attack (the strong blow), after which you should dodge and dash away, because he will try to attack immediately. An excellent moment to attack with swift blows, into the opponent's back, is when he, after the strong attack, drives his sword into the ground and will take a moment to pull it off. This will leave him exposed for a moment. Towards the end of the battle, also watch out for the lethal whirl - do not clock it and remain out of range. All in all: keep the appropriate distance and attack when the boss is done landing his own attacks. You should especially watch out for the horizontal downwards swing and the lethal whirl. As the priest, you can also use the spell that summons Harkyn's clone, to your aid. Thanks to this, you will distract the boss for a moment, which will allow you to attack his back safely, or drink a potion.
